RSS

Definition:

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is a way to receive Internet content such as blog entries, news stories, and podcasts delivered directly to you in one central, organized location. In order to view RSS feeds you enter the web site feed address (URL) for content you would like to receive in an RSS reader, such as Google Reader, NewsGator or Microsoft Outlook and you will automatically begin to receive regular updates.

The benefit of using RSS is that you don't have to visit dozens of web sites to view their content. Instead the content from all of your web sites is pulled down to one central location, your RSS feed reader program. Your RSS feed reader program will also take care of marking which items are new and how many unread items you have.

Here's a word you may not know...

1080p

The "1080" part of 1080p describes the number of vertical lines that make up a television or video signal. Most television or video signals are rated at 480, 720 or 1080. The more vertical lines that make up the picture, the crisper or higher definition the picture. The "p" following 1080 indicates that the video display is constructed using a progressive scan method.

1080p is considered pure high definition or native high definition and is considered the future standard for high definition broadcasting. 1080p is also the format of most high definition Blu-ray DVDs.
